One of the spectacular cases handled by his firm was the case between Femi Falana and the Federal Government, in which Femi Falana (SAN) contested the constitutionality of the contract between the Ministry of Interior, the Nigeria Immigration Service, and Continental Transfert Technique Limited for the collection of Combined Expatriate and Residence Permit Aliens Card (CERPAC) fees.

Prince Adewole Adebayo is a selfless, patriotic passionate son of the soil. In 2016 he decided to relocate his businesses to his hometown of Ondo City in order to contribute to the development and growth of the town and the state as a whole. In December that year, Prince Adebayo held a one-week retreat at his country home in Ondo kingdom. It was at this retreat that the objectives and mission statement of KAFTAN TV was birthed. Today, KAFTAN TV is headquartered in Ondo with additional offices in Lagos, Abuja and Washington DC in the United States of America.
KAFTAN TV has produced 1,022 corps members in its three stations in Ondo, Abuja and Lagos.
The company has successfully retained 103 corps members. Prince Adebayo extended the training given to corps members to the Ondo Youth in February 2021, after realising that most indigenes were not benefiting from the TV training.
It therefore came as no surprise when in November 18, 2021, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) recognised KAFTAN TV as the Best Corps Employers in Ondo zone.
Adebayo now sponsors over 500 young Ondo students in Nigerian tertiary institutions, in addition to numerous students from other towns and states.
More so, he has financially empowered hundreds of women in Ondo Kingdom. He does this without making a fuss about it.
In light of all this, Prince Adewole Adebayo is a recipient of many awards in recognition of his service to his State, community and to humanity.
In March 2021, he was recognised by the Ondo State Government as the indigene who pays the highest personal income tax to the Ondo State Government.
Prince Adewole Adebayo has emerged as the Social Democratic Party candidate for the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria.
After scoring 1,526 votes at the party’s National Convention in Abuja, he emerged as the party’s standard bearer, defeating the only co-contestant, Ms. Khadija Lamidi, who polled 83 votes.
In his acceptance speech, 54-year-old Adebayo, said that his emergence indicates it was the turn of the Nigerian masses to take over power in 2023; adding that the dividends od democracy would be enjoyed by all.
Adebayo pledged that the SDP would give the ruling party All Progressives Congress and the People’s Democratic Party a ‘good fight’ in the 2023 general elections.
He urged Nigerians to join the SDP, register with INEC to vote, open their minds, tell others about SDP and vote out bad leaders in 2023.
